MCU Fic: Nothing Said (Mature)
Title: Nothing Said
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Mature
Word count: ~8,300
Pairing: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Additional Characters: Abigail Brand, Super Doctor Astronaut Peter Corbeau
Additional Tags: Canon Divergence, Not Avengers: Endgame (Movie) Compliant, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV) Compliant, Stranded, Moon, Pining, Angst, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Panic Attacks, Love Confessions, Masturbation
Summary: There’s always been another war, another reason for Steve to keep his feelings to himself and keep moving on. For all his wishes to do things differently, he never figured out how. Which is why following Fury to the moon, passing on the shield, and leaving Bucky to discover himself seemed like the right answer. When Steve gets caught in a force field surrounding a crumbling civilization, he starts to realize everything he thought was wrong.
Notes: I have some problems with the end of Avengers: Engdame, and thus I am ignoring those aspects of canon! Does Steve still leave Sam and Bucky? Yes, and this fic addresses why and gives credence to Torres's rumors that Steve's off doing "moon stuff." 😉
Written for CapRBB 2022 and Steve Rogers Bingo, prompt "Space."
